nother object is the provision of 'a cabi- Lile *whaha 'adrien to mans @keeping the daily 'milk recordof a 'number of cows, 'and this in a convenient and sanitary man@ nenas equipped with means' for containing' 'andpreserving in alcl'ean state a number of record sheets f'or use in succession; the said means being so constructed and arranged as to lend itself yto facility in removing a `sheetand in placing the sheet in the cabinet forthe reception of entries day by day.

Other objects fand practical advantages of the lin ve'ntion 'Willbe fully understood from the "following description and cl'aim s When 'thesame vare read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming part of 'this specification, in Whichz- Figure, 1 isa "front elevation of the cabi- Anet fconstit'uting the best practical vembodiment of ymy invention of which I am cogni- 'z"a`I"it Y. t 1.

.Similarnumerals yreference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of thedraress- It is Within the purview of my invention tol for-1n the `different parts` of my novel cabinet of materials best ysuited to the purposes @i .the Partager-sbl -rrer te ferm the roller l of `Wood, and the 'maj'b PIn yof tliecabinet of galvanized sheet metal; 'and l also prefer to form the transparent panel 2 of clear glass, and to employ recordv sheets, in succession, the said sheets designated 3 being ofpaperor other material c on sonant with the use to which the same are put. ln this latter connection I 'would have vit understood that a plurality of the sheets 3 isfkeptin the-magazine 4f, so as to protect the sheetsagainstdirt andthe action of the atmosphere, the y"sheets beingv removed one by one from the said magazine or container ZLand they magazine or container 4 being provided at its right hand end With a removable stopper 5, Figure 2, designedto lend itself` to the ready removal of record sheets from the magazine or'container 4 as occasion demands.

The major portion of myv novel cabinet is yformed by a casing body 6 which is surmounted by the magazine or record sheet container Zi, as illustrated. The said vcasing body 6 "is closed at its back, bottom, top,"and

sides, but .is open at its'front, and by particular Vreference to Figures y5 and 6, it will be. noted that the Vcasing body 6 is provided at intervals in its height with shelves 7 whereby it provid-'ed With a plurality of compartments 8, designed more particularly for the receptionof medicine generally used for the protection'of a herd offco'yvs.

The uppermost shelf 7 is provided with an npturned lip 9, and in the rcompartment 8* 4abo've the said uppermost shelf 7 is arranged the rollerl before alluded to,4 The said roller l is provid-ed With t-runnions journaled in the side Walls ofthe casing body 6, and o ne of the trunnio'ns designated by 1 0 is equipped with a hand Wheel 11j exterior of the casing' body, and' valso with a ratchet disk l2 disposed inthe uppermost compartment, as l'earlyshownin Figure 6.

l es'lfnt WW1 is' sreimrosd- Aupon and connected to the uppermost shelf At 13 a 7, the -said resilient 4pawl being designated by 14 'and being provided by preference with a roller 15,' arranged' in opposed, relation to the toothed periphery ofthe ratchet dsk'l. Manfelstly the use' Off the Perfil-lill assci'ation With the ratchet vdisk 12 isealtiene@ aenyaivis'ieas 1e en til-erstere sheet 3 may be registered y vv/ith the narrow opening, hereinafter described, `in the horizontal sv'vinigable door 1 7 of my improveculated to V contribute to the Vfacility with mehr, The "lower sheltes 7 provided with upturned `and preferably beaded flanges 18, and opposed to the said flanges 18 is what lf designate the drop door 19 of my improvement, the said drop door 19 being hinwcdly connected at 20 tothe casing body, kItigure 6, and being adapted when closed to rest against the faces of the flanges 18 so as to effectively exclude ythe atmosphere lrom the interior of the several compartments 8. Manifestly to give access to any one or all or' the several compartments 8 it is necessary to swing the drop door 19 forwardly, but this obviously may be readily accomplished after the door 17 is swung horizontally on its hinges 21 to open position. At 22 the door 17 is provided with an appropriate lock, preferably kcy controlled, `and designed to cooperate with a keeper provided in the right hand side wall of the casing body 6. In addition to the narrow opening 16 and the lock 2Q, the door 17 is characterized by a platform or narrow shelfv 23 and by end pockets 24, the said narrow shelf 23 being designed to support and the said pockets 24 being adapted to receive and hold the ends of the transparent panel 2, before mentioned, and a card 25 back of the said transparent panel; the said card 25 being provided with divisions bearing numbers, said numbers designating certain cows, and the spaces in the divisions and'above the numbers being adapted for the reception of data germane to the particular cow represented by the number of the division. Manitestly the card 25 is adapted to be readily removed when necessary, and to be replaced with a fresh card intendedto take care of any changes that may take place in the handling of a herd.

For the attachment of the record sheet 3 to bc used to the roller 1, I provide the `said roller with a plurality of, preferably four, resilient clips 26, the said clips 26 being spaced apart, preferably in the f relation shown in Figure 2, and being provided with barbs 27 adapted to extend through the upper portion oi? a record sheet and into the roller 1, so as to positively secure the record sheet to the roller. The clips 26 are .capable of being sprung away from the roller 1, and from this it follows that by virtue of the clips 26 a record sheet may be expeditiously and easily attached to the roller 1, and may as readily be detached from said roller when iilled with entries.

As designated by Q8 and 29 in Figure 5, the horizontally swingable outer door 17 of the cabinet is provided with upper and lower flanges designed to rest above and below the casing body 6. p

I prefer to employ my no-vel cabinet in upright position on a wall or other upright support, and toward said end I provide the casing body 6 with hanger loops 30, and with a pendent apertured strap 3]. through the medium of which said casing body 6 may be attached to a wall or otherV upright support.

I illustrate in Figure 1 morning and afternoon divisions on the record sheet 3 in registration with the opening 16 in the door 17, and it will be noticed that each pair of divisions on therecord sheet is iny vertical alinement with one'of the divisions of the card 25, so that the daily milk record of each cow may be yexpeditiously and easily entered upon the record sheet 3, and this with but little liability ot the record sheet being soiled or otherwise affected by its exposure tol the atmosphere through the openingl.

In the practical use of my novel cabinet, it will be appreciated that the record sheet 3 is protected from prolonged exposure to light rays and hence the sheet is not liable to become discolored, and moreover the sheet is effectively protected against'dirt, and milk and milk tat such as are likely to be upon a milkers hand. It will also be appreciated that at the end of a month or other predetermined period of time, the sheet filled with entries having to do with the 'daily milk weight from each cow, may be expeditiously and easily removed from the cabinehso as to show clearly and cleanly the record of each cow for the month or other predetermined period. This will be appreciated as an important advantage when it is stated that the progressive' dairy man is guided chiefly by the daily milk record of the cow.

In addition to the practical advantages ascribed to my novel cabinet,itwill be notedV that the cabinet is simple and inexpensive in construction, and in general is well adapted to withstand exposure at the point where it is located for convenient use of milkers employed in connection with a herd.

I have entered into a detailed description of the construction and relative arrangement of the parts embraced in the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart a full, clear and exact understanding of the said embodiment. I do not desire, however, to be understood as limiting myself to the construction and relativearrangement of parts as disclosed, myinvention being defined by my appended claims Within the scope of which modil'ications may be made without departing froml my invention. l

Havingdescribed my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Iiet',e,Jrs-Pat,-

the upper portion of the easing body and over which the record sheet rests, and a front door hinged at one vertical edge thereof to the casing body and arranged when closed to rest in front of the said record sheet the said front door being provided With pockets on either side and a shelf under the pockets to hold a card with a number for each cow, the numbers being in line with the subdivisions of the record sheet, said frontk door also having an opening for the makin of entries von the record sheet carried by t ie roller the sheet being arranged in pendant fashion between the ldrop door and the front door and backed by said front door.
